{"id":"AZL-95816","summary":"CVE-2026-53796 affecting package rsync for versions less than 3.5.0-1","details":"rsync before 3.5.0 contains a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition vulnerability in the non-daemon receiver's destination directory handling that allows an attacker who can manipulate destination path parent components to redirect file writes to unintended locations. Attackers can substitute a symlink for a component of the destination path between the path resolution and chdir() call, causing the receiver's working directory to be established outside the intended destination tree so that subsequent relative-path file writes land in unintended filesystem locations.","modified":"2026-08-30T05:26:50Z","published":"2026-08-13T15:19:51Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-53796"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-53796"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"rsync","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/rsync"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.5.0-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-95816.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
